A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center of Northeast Colorado is in a new location in Sterling, at 118 Main St., Suite 202, in Sterling. The center now offers walk-in hours from 2 to 4 p.m. Mondays and noon to 2 p.m. Fridays for any woman who thinks she may be pregnant or is pregnant.

The Sterling location — one of four in the region — has trained volunteers who can provide pregnancy tests, help find resources, assist with infant clothing and individualize one-on-one services for women and their families facing challenges while pregnant. All services are free and confidential.

A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center of Northeast Colorado is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization providing classroom education on healthy relationships and one-on-one support during, and following, pregnancy — all free-of-charge to anyone in northeast Colorado. Other locations include Brush, Holyoke and Yuma. The organization helps women and those they love with accurate information and caring emotional support, infant clothing up to 18 months, and After Pregnancy Care.

"The Pregnancy Center is thankful for the support of the community, generous donations and many volunteers who make it possible to provide quality services to women and their families," said Executive Director Faye Barnhart. "Our goal is to be accessible to every woman in need of our services in Northeast Colorado."

The organization will hold a community dinner and encore presentation by Dr. Frederick Brown at 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, at the Gary DeSoto Building on the Logan County Fairgrounds.

As a former abortionist and specialist in ultrasound, Dr. Brown now advocates for women and their preborn children. He inspires audiences in his celebration of the preborn in "Made by Love." He is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and serves on the National Advisory Board of the Medical Institute of Sexual Health. A national spokesperson on the subject of sexual health, Dr. Brown has worked in military medicine, mainstream private practice of obstetrics and gynecology and medical education.

As a part of the evening, Barnhart will share the latest in local Pregnancy Center work.

"The purpose of the Dinner and Presentation is to help raise awareness and funds for the Pregnancy Center and our recently opened Sterling location," Barnhart said. "We would like to share with the community the hope we have for our pre-borns and mothers of the future."

The dinner and presentation are free to the public with reservation by calling 970-842-4324.

For questions about the Pregnancy Center or to make an appointment, individuals can call 970-842-4324, or use the walk-in hours now available at Sterling, Holyoke (Tuesdays, 4 to 6 p.m.), and Brush (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.).
